Question @ress is that area been in this years fires? Just looking at all the new growth on those gum trees.

Real nice buck @Dreamer. Impressive brow tines. And great choice of calibre for fallow

Don't have the ground pic but mate shot this donkey in Auckland in the rut this year. A mate in taupo has a 198 1/2DS buck and this is considerably larger. Hoping he gets it scored but well over 200

Sure looks as if it will go over 200 DS, Very nice Buck

I would put it in that 220s bracket from the photo

It's quite long too which I think will help. Need to find someone to score it in the north auckland region

Farken oath it was..... Crazyyyyyyy big fires ripped through this area. some area still looks like the moon, this area an some shadey sides are starting to Re gen, these deers are here for the feed in the gulley an creek below, the landscpae pic u can see the gulley greening up as it gets lower... it took a huge toll on the deer numbers, an i still feel a bit shit for killing this one.
i need to shoot more hinds.


- first stag in 8 months since fires. (have shot a half dozen hinds in unburnt regions nearby)
-have a video called "fire deer 2020" on youtube of immediate after fires, an then monthly updates to a degree. have a check, it was fkn wild.

Shedding has begun. I picked up a freshly cast antler last night, 22 August. I nice heavy 10 with big low coronets.

Got this fella last Saturday, shot at 425yds, nothing special but a good day out.

Couple of sika from back in May once we got out of lockdown.

Nice way to finish my wallaby trip this morning.
